Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill and his blazing speed have wowed NFL fans but his pursuit on the track wowed the sports world on Saturday.
Hill just torched through the 60-meter dash at the USA Track & Field Masters Indoor Championships. The All-Pro wide receiver clocked a ridiculous 6.70 in the race to win it in grand style.
USATF’s Twitter account posted a video of the race, in which Tyreek jumps off the mat.

Hill can add this accolade to his swelling list. He won Super Bowl LIV as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020.
After the video of the big race was posted, the sports world wasn’t short on reaction.
Vic Tafur of The Athletic was in awe of the warmup jump.

Tyreek Hill is already a menace for NFL defensive players. On Saturday, track stars quickly found out exactly what all of them have to deal with on a regular basis every fall and winter.
